Heat Stroke: A Medical Emergency Appearing in New Regions.

Heat stroke is an acute, life-threatening emergency characterized clinically by elevated body temperature and central nervous system dysfunction. Early recognition and treatment including aggressive cooling and management of life-threatening systemic complications are essential to reduce morbidity and mortality. This case report describes two Danish patients diagnosed with heat stroke syndrome during a heat wave in the summer of 2014.

[Treatment of hyperthermia].

Hyperthermia is an uncontrolled elevation of body temperature exceeding the body's ability to dissipate heat. Hyperthermia can result in dangerously high core temperatures and can rapidly become fatal. Common causes include heat stroke, malignant hyperthermia, serotonin syndrome, neuroleptic syndrome, a few endocrine emergencies as well as numerous intoxications.

Epidemiology of cerebral palsy in Southern Denmark.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence, subtypes, severity and neuroimaging findings of cerebral palsy (CP) in a cohort of children born in Southern Denmark. Risk factors were analysed and aetiology considered.

Methods: A population-based cohort study covering 17,580 live births from 2003 to 2008.

Effect of head rotation during surgery in the prone position on regional cerebral oxygen saturation: A prospective controlled study.

Background: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used to study regional cerebral blood oxygen saturation (rScO2) in patients in the prone position.

Objectives: We aimed to test the hypothesis that head rotation more than 45° would affect the rScO2.

Design: A prospective, controlled, single cohort study.

[Severe thrombocytopenia after diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis].

A patient presented with erysipelas and developed deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and later idiopatic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). In the literature we find no reports of ITP following DVT. It is well known that patients can develop HIT after DVT or DVT after ITP, both caused by the medicine used for treatment.
